This 1966 Chevrolet C10 strikes that perfect mix of vintage pickup and updated muscle machine. After all, from the bold orange paint, to the performance-built small block, to the five-speed manual, this has everything you want... and it's all for an irresistible price.The first thing you notice about this truck is the paint. The orange looks great under our showroom lights, but the moment the sunshine hits it, you can really see the quality that comes from investing in a modern application. The whole truck pops with a deep luster that could rival the chrome kings of the era. In fact, that's why major pieces like the bumpers have painted to match the body. Even the white on the cab has a pristine presence. And because this one already shines so bright, the trim has been painted silver. This does more than just help it to standout against the color. It also does a great job of coordinating with the 15-inch torque thrust style wheels. In fact, the trim color even coordinates with the color of the wood in the bed. And while you're looking back there, you might want to take notice of how all the seams have been custom welded for a smooth finish (the taillights are now integrated into the tailgate.) It's this kind of detail work that really lets you know someone went to the trouble to create a thorough custom.Inside is more evidence of a thoughtful build. It starts with a pair of sporty bucket seats that have gray cloth inserts for added comfort. While this one has features like an AM/FM/cassette stereo and side vent windows, it's the driver-oriented features that will really make you fall in love/lust. The well-padded small diameter sports steering feels great in your hands. Beyond that you have a commanding view of the updated full gauge package, including the large Sun Super Tach. And that goes great with the Hurst shifter. All of this together will get your heart racing even before you twist the key and hear this one roar.The engine bay has been built for both show and go. After all, those bright painted fender walls and firewall immediately funnel your attention to the 327 cubic-inch V8. And while this one has some great shiny components, the upgrades you'll really love are the performance pieces, like aluminum heads, Edelbrock intake, Holley four-barrel carb, and aluminum radiator w/electric fan. There's a nice set of headers that add even more power as they feed the rumbling dual exhaust. Best of all, you have complete control over this performance motor and its thunderous soundtrack with the TKO five-speed manual transmission. It's a total package that feels particularly solid because the full drivetrain has about 5k miles on it (or less). And this one is great on the road thanks to features like power steering, power brakes, a thick front sway bar, and the C10's sought-after trailing arm rear suspension.This is a true custom classic sports truck with all the features you'd add if you were doing the build. So to have it turn-key ready at such an affordable price means you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call today!!!
